Caught something on the radio that mentioned Jacques said Chabot needed to get stronger and play better defensively? Does anyone know the context behind why he said that?

I don’t know but its true
Very true. It could be Chabby's physical strength Jacques is (may be) commenting on, but it might also be intensity he has to get better at, as in battling much harder. It seems to me that when he engages he gives up on the battle way too easily. If he doesn't win it first try he backs right off. Chabot should be leveraging his strong skating ability more, like Sandy who creates time and space for himself. Chabby is caught standing still way too often. All kinds of talent there - just not using it particularly efficiently. My hope is a good (great!) coach can fix much of that with him.

Pinto had a really rough period
Yup... Brady directed a pass from behind the net right onto Pinto's stick. Great Pinto was wide open in a strong shooting position, but he bobbled the damned pass - zero shot. I'm not picking on some rare event here. All to frequent this year, the Sens lose o-zone presence because Pinto loses or mishandles a pass.
